Spider Prototype Level - Bump In The Night Dev Log 08
I am having trouble getting enemies to work properly and my chests broke and stuff keeps happening. So I decided to take a break and get something else done.
In the forest level I noticed it wasn't difficult and kinda boring. To be fair it is the first level after the tutorial so it is suppose to just introduce stuff and not be challenging. But like in Spyro the Dragon it is more story based than platforming based. So I thought why don't I have levels that are more platforming based to even it out. I came up with the idea of jumping into dreams of bugs, plants, and really anything living. Maybe I will do inanimate objects for sh*ts and giggles too. With these levels I will just focus on platforming and a small theme. They are not needed to progress through the game so if you aren't 100%ing the game then you can just skip them if you wish.
In this level, you jumped into the dream of a spider and the theme is you are in a cave of construction worker spiders. Because spiders construct webs. Haha. Get it? This level is meant to be more in the beginning of the level so it isn't super hard but still more challenging than the forest level. It introduces some platforming mechanics and tests you if you want to get a collectible that will give you access to even harder levels with even less theme to them. No collectibles or anything in them. Just levels that if you want to torture yourself then have at it. lol
I am not sure if I will fully commit to these levels. I am fully committing to making this game. Aka no job and living off savings. So if I need to release the game to make ends meat then I might have this become DLC or just not do it all together. But if I am far from finished and I have to get back into the workforce then why not make all these ideas I am deleting.

Nutty Dilemma
My buddy showed me Suno.com which is an AI song generator. So I spent my day messing around with it. And here is what I came up with. =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a little squirrel
He's on the move
Chasing his dreams
Gotta groove
Gotta groove
He's got a mission
Can't settle for less
Gotta find his nuts
Gotta pass the test
Running through the trees
He's got no time to rest
He's searching high and low
Giving it his best
His little paws scurrying
Digging in the earth
He won't let anything stop his rebirth
He's got those nuts on his mind
Can't let them go
They're his treasure
His fortune
Don't you know?
He's a rodent with a hunger
Can't be tamed
In this nutty world
He's staking his claim
-----------------
Chillin' in my tree
Feelin' fine
When along comes Badger
Nothin' but trouble in his mind
He's lookin' for nuts
Gotta hide 'em away
But this squirrel ain't lettin' him ruin my day
Gotta be quick
Gotta be sly
Jumpin' from branch to branch
Reachin' for the sky
I'm collectin' my stash
Squirrel's on a mission
Ain't no way that badger's gettin' my nutrition
Badger's sniffin' around
Thinkin' he's so stealthy
But I'm a squirrel
Ain't no one outwitin' me
I'm stashin' my nuts in every secret place
Gonna leave that badger with an empty chase
-----------------
Running through the woods
Oh what a sight
Badger on my tail
It's giving me a fright
Looking for my nuts
He's craving a snack
But why does this badger want a nut attack?
He's got sharp claws and a fierce little growl
Everywhere I turn
He's right on my prowl
Maybe he's hangry or just wants some zest
But what could be so special 'bout my nuts
I must confess
Badger trouble
What's the deal?
Why he wants my nuts
It's hard to reveal
Badger trouble
A nutty pursuit
I gotta find a way out
Before he gets his loot
-----------------
Badger's got me
Hands on my nuts
Can't shake him off
He's all up in my guts
Oh Lord
What am I supposed to do?
This horrible pursuer
He's got me feeling blue
He's sneaky and sly
Oh what a beast
Chasing after me
He won't release
I try to run
But he's always near
This badger's got me living in fear
Oh
Badger Blues
What a sorry state
Can't escape this relentless fate
Badger got me
He's taken control
I'm just a little squirrel with a badger holding my soul
-----------------
Oh
Badger Blues
What a sorry state
Can't escape this relentless fate
Badger got me
He's taken control
I'm just a little squirrel with a badger holding my soul
Is there any hope left?
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
What is a poor squirrel to do?
Is there anyone that can come
Rescue him from this pursuit
O, Look! It's Bear!
-----------------
Bear is on the scene
Badger not feeling so tough
But Bear has come
Ready to mess him up
No
It ain't a pretty sight
It's a brutal showdown
Bear gonna take him down
And leave him lying on the ground
Badger's feeling defiant
Thinking he's the king
But Bear's in control
Gonna bring ... the pain
Survival ain't an option when the bear's in town
Badger better run away
'cause the bear's gonna take him down
Mess badger up
Show him who's boss
No mercy
No surrender
Bear gonna run this game
Make badger pay the price
When Bear's in the ring
It's gonna be one hell of a fight
Mess Badger Up!
Mess Badger Up!

Bump In The Night Dev Log 01
This is the first look at my 3D platformer game Bump In The Night. The name might change once I am closer to releasing just due to it being such a common phrase. I am not sure if I am allowed to use it. But regardless this is the start.
This showcases the player character, Maloop. And the ending is giving an idea of what the game will be. The hub world is a house and you will be entering people's dreams to start the levels. So you are a tiny creature.
